Chapter 1564


    Emily hung out with Kya for a bit then took her back to the lounge In the corridor, a kid suddenly


    dashed by, knocking into Kya and sending her helium balloon flying.


    Kya was mad about that balloon, so she bolted after it in a heartbeat. Emily trailed behind her all the


    way to the second floor, before they managed to snatch it back. Now Kya didn’t want to leave. She


    stood by a white marble railing, ying with the colorful ribbons and flowers on it.


    Emily plonked herself down on a chair nearby, watching Kya y. Downstairs was the banquet hall


    where the ceremony was to take ce in the afternoon. Right now, though, there were only a few


    people chatting, the rest probably off grabbing a bite in the restaurant next door.


    A server sauntered over, bringing Emily a ss of juice and a ss of milk, plus two desserts that kids


    went nuts for


    Kya was having a st, plucking off flower petals and ying with them by the railing.


    Emily shot a message to Estelle, letting her know where she and Kya were and telling her to go ahead


    and eat without them.


    Behind Emily was a small lounge area, separated by a’semi-open screen.


    Right now, a fewdies were chatting behind the screen.


    Emily didn’t notice at first, until she heard ady calling from behind her, “Mrs. James,e sit with


    us!”


    “I’ve been looking for you guys. I didn’t realize you were chilling here!” Mrs. James came over, her


    voice warm and carrying an air of elegance and ss,


    Mrs. James chuckled and exined, was outside enjoying the fresh air


    Emily nced over her shoulder, through the semi-transparent screen, and sure enough, there was


    Charlie’s mum, settling down on the sofa. The others flocked around her, pouring her tea and handing


    her cake.


    Mrs. James took a sip of her tea, chuckling, 1 saw Josiah and Charlie together earlier. No clue where


    they’ve disappeared to now.”


    Josiah’s mum, Flora Dempsey,ughed and answered, “They’ve got a bunch of friends here, probably


    hanging out with them.”


    Mrs. James said, “Josiah’s engaged now. You can finally rest easy!”


    Floraughed, “Since he got together with Amier, Josiah’s life has been much more steady, especially


    these past couple of years working at the Lamont Group. It’s been a relief.”


    Mrs. James sighed, “Josiah’s engaged and my son Charlie still doesn’t have a girlfriend.”


    Flora replied, “Charlie’s busy taking care of the family business. If Josiah could help us out a bit like


    that, we’d be over the moon”


    Anotherdy joked, “Charlie’s such a catch, Who would worry about him not finding a girlfriend? My


    worry is he’s got too many options and can’t decider

    Mrs. James chuckled wryly. “Enough with the jokes. I’m really getting a headache over his marriage.


    His father and I don’t care how much money he makes. We just want him to find a suitable girlfriend as


    soon as possible”


    Floraughed. “Mrs. James, what kind of daughter-inw are you looking for? Tell me what you want


    and I’ll keep an eye out for Charlie”


    “A girl like Amiee would be perfect. She’s steady, elegant, and beautiful Most importantly, our families


    are on the same level” Mrs. James emphasized thest point, “A girl like that would truly love Charlie,


    and will not be after anything else”


    “Mrs James, you are right” Mrs. Lee, who had been joking earlier, said, “My rtive’s son dated a poor


    girl. She was beautiful but greedy and materialistic. It started with buying bags and jewelry, then cars


    and houses, and finally she wanted a job and a house for her brother to get married! it was too much


    for their family and they nned to break up, but do you know what happened? They couldn’t even


    break up. The girls family caused a scene at hispany and home every day, iming their daughter


    was pregnant and demanding 5 million dors for an abortion, or they would expose everything”


    Mrs. Lee shook her head dramatically. “It was a huge mess. It drove my rtive up the wall, not only


    costing them money but also their dignity”


    The others expressed their sympathy. Mrs. James looked even more serious, “That’s why Charle can’t


    get involved with poor girls. Once they get ther ws into him, he wouldn’t be able to shake them off. If


    Charlie dares to date a girl like that, I might as well cut ties with him?”


    Floraughed, “Alright, it’s not that serious”
